Is Bakido Bullshido?

I have some friends who are signing up at this place for karate lessons, and I wanted to see what you guys here thought about whether or not this is Bullshido, or if anybody knew about this place. I don't want to have my friends sign up if it's no good. I did a topic search and couldn't find anything about it. Thanks in advance...

I think this says all you need to know:

We had a long discussion with some huys from bakido several months ago. They don't spar, they give multiple black belt degrees to kids, and they referenced the karate kid as an example of how sparring is not necessary to fight.

If you do a search you may be able to find the original thread.

Is it bad that I want them to enroll there so I know I will still be able to beat their asses 6 months from now?

I've tried a couple of different ways, and couldn't find the topic.

Not if you tell them it sucks and they still do it.
